Comment:

 I fixed most of the issues that you have outlined in the review:
  * [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/sugar-xkb-
 support/commits/9d7009880fc862c2e14f2ad4afb2c6d20bb6e439 Abbreviations and
 PEP8 fixes]
  * [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/sugar-xkb-
 support/commits/f4fe0560b7bf1aa6a910a40fd36386aab01cbd94 More robust
 variable checking and error handling]

 Unfortunately, in

 {{{
 def setup_keyboard_cb(gconf_client):
     logging.debug('STARTUP: setup_keyboard_cb')
     try:
       ...
 except:
         logging.debug('ERROR in setup_keyboard_cb: %s' %
 str(sys.exc_info()))
         pass
 }}}

 I have no way of figuring out what error is going to happen (we are trying
 to interact with GConf, the core X protocol, a layer of Python and a layer
 of C+GObject and a layer of Xlib on top of the protocol - all in this
 section of the code).
